Hi Peter, Take a look at the photos and you will see why.(you may have seen
these before) I had the truck weighed and it weighs almost exactly 19,000
lb. That's with full fuel tanks.
The dump bed weighs about 4000lb., the crane weighs about 3000lb. I have 18
leaf springs in the rear and 15 leafs in the front. I really don't know what
my (loaded) weight should be. If you know a good way to figure that out let
me know.
Bill

Sorry to be so nosey but why so high? What is your maximum gross? My work
M35 carries a a 1,250 gal. hydroseed tank and pumping equipment + supplies
totalling 14K load. It handles the load much better than when I had 11K
hydroseed trailer and only 3K on the truck because I no longer spin wheels
on very steep gravel roads.
Best wishes,
